The former England midfielder has been self-isolating since March 13, when one of his players, Callum Hudson-Odoi, tested positive for the killer bug.
Hudson-Odoi has since revealed he is feeling much better and training at home – along with other members of the squad.
Lampard appeared to adhere to social distancing guidelines by keeping away from fellow dog walkers on his jaunt.
His TV star wife Christine, who he married in December 2015, recently spoke about having the Stamford Bridge boss around the house a lot more amid the ongoing health crisis.

She said: “Frank’s been at home and he never is, he’s always away and I have never seen our little girl or dog happier.

Chelsea reopened their training ground last week and Lampard had a positive update on 19-year-old sensation Hudson-Odoi’s condition.
He said: “I’m happy to say that in Callum’s case, he has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear.
“I am of course aware that not everyone can or will recover from this virus, so I urge all of the football and sporting community to continue to act responsibly and look out for the health of others.

“I want to make it clear that I am no medical expert when it comes to challenging times such as these but please do take the time to call older relatives and vulnerable people who might be alone, or offer to drop round shopping if they can’t get out. Let’s make sure we all take care of each other.
“Social distancing can leave us feeling isolated, however we can continue to support each other even if that means doing it remotely.”
